Chapter 120

The Ruthless Great Emperor proved the Dao with the most ordinary physique, possessing no innate advantage; she relied solely on her obsessive heart.

The Empress's bearing was transcendent, leaving endless legends for posterity, yet few know her past.

"Upon reaching the peak, yet things remain while people are gone—how regrettable."

Yang Zhu sighed lightly, if he had the chance he would certainly go to visit and personally witness her talent.

After carving the final pattern, Hun Dun Chi, compared to before, gained a different flavor, its Dao nature becoming ever more pronounced.

He naturally could not directly imprint the Dao patterns contained in the Swallowing Heaven Demon Jar into the pool; instead he traced them one by one, personally drawing each stroke.

Afterward he took out the Swallowing Heaven Demon Art and began to study it painstakingly; although the Ruthless One had flaws when creating it, damaging yin virtue, in her later years she would surely suffer backlash.

But Yang Zhu did not use it for cultivation; he merely wished, through its contents, to comprehend its profound mysteries.

Later, Yang Zhu combined the Swallowing Heaven Demon Jar, the Ruthless One's Killing Formation, and the Swallowing Heaven Demon Art, using 'Dao' and 'Principle' as guides, to trace back to the source and investigate the fundamental meaning.

His mind and spirit immersed therein, in the blink of an eye another month passed.

……

During Yang Zhu's secluded cultivation, many major events occurred in the Northern Territory; the entire Eastern Wasteland was no longer tranquil, undercurrents surged, and a bloody storm was imminent.

Initially, when they left Divine City to seek Tutu, only half a month had passed before several forces joined together to launch a third assault on Purple Mountain.

This time, even the four great dynasties of Central Province joined in, with numerous Supreme Elder-level figures participating, and even five Imperial Weapons were deployed!

What does five Imperial Weapons mean? Once all are activated, the endless imperial might they emit can annihilate any force, even submerge the Eastern Wasteland.

Faced with such a formidable lineup, everyone thought victory was assured, confidence brimming, all hoping the Beginningless Great Emperor's inheritance would reappear in the human world! Yet the outcome defied everyone's expectations: several transcendent forces joined hands, jointly activating the five Imperial Weapons, enough to make even the earth sink.

Yet Purple Mountain was like a demonic mountain, possessing a special power, standing firm; even under the combined might of the five Imperial Weapons, it was merely opened a crack.

Clang! The bell tolled, resonant like the Huang Zhong great lyre, carrying invincible might, shaking open several Imperial Weapons; the Holy Lords present felt their minds and spirits about to split, nearly exploding!

Weaker disciples, under the bell's shockwave, had over a thousand instantly explode into blood mist.

They were all elite strongmen handpicked; for the holy land, it was a tremendous loss.

"Purple Mountain has opened; the Beginningless Great Emperor's inheritance will soon appear in the world!"

Someone shouted loudly; the fear in their hearts was quickly replaced by fervor, and the people of the holy land streamed in, all desiring the Beginningless Great Emperor's inheritance.

"Roar!"

But in less than a moment, boundless surging killing intent erupted; in an instant, everyone suffered grave injury.

"Oh no…… there's a primeval……"

Over sixty percent of the Supreme Elders didn't even utter a sound before being sliced into ash by that killing intent; disciples below Dragon Transformation, survivors were less than thirty percent! All who entered fled in disarray, under the protection of the ultimate Imperial Weapons, activating the Divine Edict to traverse the void and escape back to Divine City.

Finally, only a small fraction returned; they not only failed to see the Beginningless Great Emperor's inheritance, but also suffered heavy losses among their elite forces, their injuries beyond description as merely severe.

However, the bell's sound, as the domain gate traversed, arrived above Divine City; under this wave, the city seemed to undergo an earthquake, swaying, on the verge of collapse! "The Beginningless Great Emperor's divine might overwhelms the world, must not be desecrated!"

The people in the city felt a wisp of imperial might emanating from it; their minds and spirits trembled, unable to help but kneel and worship deeply.

"Roar……"

Suddenly, a terrifying roar came, accompanied by waves of shrill cries.

"What on earth happened?" many cultivators turned deathly pale, uncertain and doubtful.

"It's terrible, a primeval creature has been born!"

"Purple Mountain has been breached, many primeval creatures are chasing us!" a terrified cry came from afar; Divine City instantly fell into chaos as primeval creatures emerged, traversed the void, and entered the city.

This is undoubtedly terrifying news!

"Roar!"

The roar shook heaven and earth, scattering the clouds in the sky, and Divine City trembled.

Nobody failed to change color; many felt their souls tremble—what kind of terrifying creature has been born?

"Boom!"

From the northern direction came a heaven-shaking disturbance, killing intent shooting straight to the heavens; there a Holy Lord was battling a primeval creature, shaking the firmament violently.

"Good heavens, just how terrifying are these primeval creatures?"

Everyone's faces changed; a single primeval creature could fight a Holy Lord to a standstill—who knows how many have emerged?

Hum—Boom! The void trembled; from the four directions of Divine City came matching peerless auras, mighty and mighty, the terrifying killing intent making everyone's hair stand on end, fear overwhelming.

Pfft……

Above the western direction a vast expanse of dark clouds loomed black; a large hand covered in black scales reached out, instantly crushing over a dozen elders into blood mist.

This horrifying sight made the cultivators' hearts and gall about to burst, their whole bodies drenched in cold sweat.

The hand reached out again, crushing another dozen elders, offering no resistance; whoever saw it felt chilled.

Clang……

In all directions of Divine City, killing intent surged; countless terrifying qi like a surging river swept down each time, slaying dozens of strong ones.

Within the city there were several Holy Lords presiding, yet they still could not block the primeval creatures; the great killing intent spread, even the Holy Lords dared not oppose.

"What to do, the primeval creatures are too terrifying……"

The strong fell like dumplings—either shaken into pieces or blasted into ash.

The city's expansive palaces were extremely luxurious, yet now they were like paper mache; when the primeval creatures struck, a large area was instantly smashed into powder.

In people's despair, a Holy Lord finally could not hold back, carrying Imperial Weapons he charged out of the city to battle the primeval creatures.

Soon after, three more Holy Lords went forth, each carrying Imperial Weapons.

The Hengyu Furnace, Void Mirror, and Black Pattern Cauldron all appeared; then a fierce battle erupted, shaking heaven and earth, collapsing the void.

"This is too terrifying—even heaven and earth have been pierced through!"

People felt the disturbance outside the city; none could avoid changing color—this is a Holy Lord-level battle, ordinary people only have the right to spectate.

"Don't disturb our peace!"

A terrifying voice sounded in everyone's heart; if not for fear of the Imperial Weapons, the primeval creature would barely have managed to traverse the void and retreat.

Purple Mountain is a Devil Mountain… opening it is equivalent to awakening the primordial creature inside, no wonder they came to kill……

Primordial creatures have emerged, a calamity is about to arrive!

This is a great disaster, I don't know how it will end……

The cultivators were still filled with lingering fear, still submerged in the recent terrifying killing intent, trembling with fright, unable to recover their composure for a long time.
